I don't know why I find so much solace in the posts on this thread as we wait and hope and mourn and rejoice. It's such a mishmash of emotions we share here. Our friends and family have been supportive as we've watched DS take this path, but being here feels warm and fuzzy in a way I don't fully understand. Somehow I think checking in here regularly has helped me cope better with this process. I appreciate the gentle reminders to relax and enjoy these last few months with DS at home. Thank you all for being here and for the support network you have become.
No matter which direction my DS ends up going, I know it will be away from me and at this point I'm thinking I'm going to need a forum after this is all over to keep me from crying all the time because of my baby leaving the nest At work so won't be able to get the mail until get home, good luck to all today
USAFA83GradWife,Wow, this is me, too. Wait until DS actually accepts.
DD finally made a decision last night and officially accepted USAFA over USNA - toughest decision she's ever made (USAFA has electronic acceptance). She loved USNA, but she said in her heart she knew USAFA was the right choice for her.
The good news: this opens up a spot at the USNA for someone else! Good luck everyone!
Mom to DD
Appointment USAFA - accepted
Appointment USNA
